Hydraulic lifts operate based on Pascal's principle, which states that when pressure is applied to a confined fluid, the pressure change is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid. In a hydraulic lift, a small force applied to a small piston creates pressure that is transmitted through the hydraulic fluid to a larger piston, allowing a much larger force to be exerted at the larger piston. This principle enables the lift to elevate heavy loads with relatively little input force.

Hydraulic systems use incompressible fluids to transmit power, allowing for the efficient transfer of energy and force. They operate based on Pascal's principle, which states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. Common applications include hydraulic brakes, lifts, and machinery in construction and manufacturing. Additionally, hydraulic systems typically consist of components such as pumps, cylinders, and valves that work together to control fluid flow and pressure.
A machine powered by water pressure is typically referred to as a hydraulic machine. These machines utilize the force and pressure of water to perform work, often through the manipulation of hydraulic fluids in a closed system. Common applications include hydraulic presses, lifts, and various industrial machinery, where water pressure is converted into mechanical energy to achieve tasks like lifting, compressing, or moving objects. This technology is valued for its efficiency and ability to exert significant force with relatively small input energy.

Hydraulic lifts utilize a hydraulic piston or ram, typically oil filled, to supply the lifting force for raising or lowering an object/load. These hydraulic systems are usually subdivided by the initial force that drives the hydraulic pump which supplies pressure for the piston. Air/Hydraulics (air over hydraulics) and Electric/Hydraulics (electric over hydraulics) are the two most popular types of power supplies for hydraulic driven systems. Cables and pulleys are often incorporated in hydraulic systems to provide equalization between multiple hydraulic cylinders that must work in unison and to remotely transfer the lifting force to areas where a large cylinder would be impractical to locate.
An automotive lift is a mechanical device, (usually hydraulic), that lifts an automobile up in the air to allow easy access to the undercarriage. It allows you to work or inspect the bottom of the vehicle while standing.

The technology that uses liquids to do work under pressure is known as hydraulics. Hydraulics operates on the principle of Pascal's law, which states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions. This technology is widely used in various applications, such as hydraulic lifts, excavators, and braking systems in vehicles, allowing for powerful and precise control of machinery.

In a hydraulic system, the pressure is the same throughout the system, so the pressure on the large piston is equal to the pressure on the small piston. This principle is known as Pascal's Law and is a key concept in understanding how hydraulic systems work.
In a hydraulic device, the work done by the input piston will be equal to the work done by the output piston if the system is ideal and there are no energy losses due to friction or other factors. This is based on the principle of conservation of energy in a closed system.
Blaise Pascal did not invent the hydraulic press; however, he did formulate Pascal's principle in the 17th century, which underlies its operation. The hydraulic press was later developed by Joseph Bramah in 1795, building on Pascal's principles of fluid mechanics. Pascal's work laid the theoretical groundwork that made the hydraulic press possible.
